Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

This album hit me by surprise and it is a worth successor to the Documentary series .The Game spits really well here but that doesn't really surprise me. He always seems to bring it lyrically. Honestly this album grew on me. At first I want too big on it. A song like "Sticks" is kinda odd but I like it. "Geezus", the first song is really dope as Game raps, "Ima make you a celebrity overnight". I didn't really like the song "Party at Game's"....I mean I see what he was going for but nah. "Baby" is pretty damn good tho as it samples Ashanti's old song with the same name. There's 2 Kanye West assisted songs "40 Nights" and "LA Monster". Both are great.Kanye is really great on the former."Do You Love Me" is interesting as a woman tells Game "yeah I love you" LOL.The Game gets really personal on songs like "Nothing 2 Hide" and "Meet the Parents". "I Won'...

  6) Tha Carter VI: It’s no secret the latest Carter album is the worst. Most of these songs are pretty mid to bad. What was he thinking on “Peanuts 2 N Elephant”? I kinda like “Cotton Candy” with 2 Chainz. “Welcome to Tha Carter” is great. I liked “Hip-Hop” which featured BigXthaPLug. “Island Holiday” and “If I Played Guitar” were very bad tho. Overall you can see why many said Wayne was washed in 2025. D+ 5)Tha Carter: I gotta admit I haven’t listened to this one that much. It’s fun to hear a pretty young Wayne here. He’s not as refined here but he’s still pretty good. I love “Bring It Back” and “Go DJ” helped put him on the map. “I Miss My Dawgs” and “Cash Money Millionaires” was good too. Overall yeah its a decent album.  B- 4)Tha Carter V: I’ve listened to this album all the way through only a few times. The album is very top heavy imo. There’s some really great songs here like “Dedicate” and “Uproar”. Weezy’s mic presence is pretty good here. I love the storytelli...

Opening Opinion 98/100 Disc 29 29 Intro-An old timey like song plays about going to Carolina. It kinda sets the tone for the theme of the album. This album is a love letter to J.Cole’s hometown. Gunshots end the track which is wild.  6/10 Two Six-The lead single. I love Cole’s flows on this track. The beat is fire too. It sounds laid back and menacing.   9/10 SAFETY-J.Cole’s raps from the perspective of his friends from his hometown telling him about what’s been going on. It’s really creative and well produced. When he talks about the gay guy he almost calls him the f word but he stops himself lol. 9.5/10 Run A Train-This is a pretty interesting song. J.Cole is joined by Future who sounds pretty invigorated on the chorus. “Fuck do you know about my passion, fuck do you know about my pain, fuck do you know about my struggle, fuck do you know about Jermaine?”. It’s a decent song. It’s pretty laid back. 8/10 Poor Thang-This is a more intense song. I love Cole’s break down when he...

 Have you been wondering what video games I've been playing since the late 2010s and till now in the mid 2020s? Well here you go Ok so after I traded in the Xbox One in 2018 I got a Nintendo Switch. OMG this thing was great. I think Breath of the Wild was my first game. I would get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey too. I was still playing my ps4 a lot too. I was playing God of War (2018) and Horizon Zero Dawn.....but I wouldn't beat either one of those until about 2020. For Switch I would eventually put over 500 hours into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate making it my most played fighting game! Later for PS4 I was able to play games that were technically ps5 games like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnaraok. Both games were absolutely amazing! Back on the Switch I would play some really great games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Zelda Skyward Sword remastered. I really was playing quite a few Pokemon games annually too like Shield, then Brilliant Diamond, t...

 Ah the final album of the Drake trilogy. I gotta admit I kinda like this one quite a bit more than Habiti. This one is apparently for the ladies. "Road Trips" has a nice uptempo vibe to it. "Cheetah Print" with Sexyy Red is a lot better than their collaboration on Habiti. In fact it's rather wild lol. Lyrically the album is pretty passable. The production is solid. Not every song is good. I don't know what he was thinking on "Princess". It really sounds bad and it's the last song too. "Which One" with Central Cee is pretty fire. I mean most songs are decent however. You gotta hand it to Drake for making a pretty decent comeback in 2026. I thought he was done after the very popular 2024 beef.  Lyrics 20 Beats 22 Depth 19 Tilt 20 Verdict 81

 This new Ariana Grande album is very polarizing it seems but I really like it! The single "hate that I made you love me" is really nice. This album seems to have a different sound than her past works for the most part. It's darker for sure. "Petal" has some really interesting production. Sometimes I found Ariana's singing would be kinda drowned out by some song's production but it rarely happens. "freak" is a highlight. As is "like I do" where she flaunts she'll do her lover better than anyone else. "oh well" has a really nice flow to it too. I could see someone being a little disappointed that this album doesn't really cover anything from her personal life. But the album is really good. Not as good as her last album but it's better than Positions from 2020. I actually have the album cover that shows shoes and her legs and not the regular album cover. So I guess it's the special edition of the album. It says...
